A SNES port was announced in 1995 but was never released. This port of the game was finished, tested, reviewed by magazines and shipped to Japan, only to be suddenly canceled. A last-minute decision was made to cancel the game, because of the expectations of low returns on a SNES game at the end of the system’s life cycle.

Wing Commander II is an excellent sequel and is still able to provide an amazing gaming experience. The game was a receiver of numerous game rewards and was featured on several top video game lists. The game is available on GOG, and it works perfectly on modern systems. Give this one a try if you are looking for an excellent DOS space sim.
